| 20080237104 | FRYER DEVICE - The present invention relates to a food fryer. The food fryer comprises a frying section where the food is fried in oil and an oil removal section where the oil content of the food is reduced. A basket located within the apparatus contains the food and is movable between the two sections. At least one motor is operable to remove oil content from the food and to move the basket between the two sections, and a controller communicates with the motor and other elements of the apparatus to facilitate the frying of the food. Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide methods for minimizing a cooling rate of the cooked food to prevent oil from gathering in the center of the cooked food and to increase the desirability of the cooked food. A cover that is sealably connected to the food frying apparatus aids in maintaining a temperature in the frying and oil removal environments that is higher than room temperature. A heating element in the oil removal section may also aid in maintaining a desirable temperature in the oil removal section. Systems for frying food according to embodiments of the invention comprise filtering systems, fire suppression systems, and/or ventilation systems. These systems may also comprise multiple food frying apparatuses. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080277325 | Mobile Oil Filtration Unit - A portable oil filtration unit | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090039004 | Automatic oil filtration and treatment with level control and system heating during filtration - A system and method for automatic oil filtration and treatment with an enclosed filter medium. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090321333 | COOKING OIL FILTERING SYSTEM APPARATUS AND SYSTEM - A cooking oil filtering system to extract cooking oil from a reservoir and direct it an enclosed centrifugal filter. The oil which is passed through the centrifugal filter is then directed back to the reservoir. The centrifugal filter is powered by a turbine which in turn is powered by a portion of the cooking oil which is delivered by a pump to the centrifugal filter. There is an oil supply and return section where there is an inlet hose having an end inserted in the oil of the reservoir and is connected to a pump which in turn directs the oil to the housing in which the second centrifugal filter is retained. The oil that is directed to power of the turbine and also to pass through the centrifugal filter is directed to a drain that in turn connects to hose which returns the cooking oil to the reservoir. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100000923 | Pump System for Deep Fryers Using Trans-Fat-Free Cooking Oil - A pump for use in a filtration process for a deep fryer is disclosed. The pump includes a drive shaft linked to a motor or motor drive shaft. The drive shaft passes through a seal assembly before passing into the pump chamber. The seal includes an outer seal housing that accommodates a lip seal. The lip seal is fabricated from PTFE. A combination oil filtration and supply system for a deep fryer is also disclosed that includes a motor linked to the drive shaft. The drive shaft passes through a supply pump and a filter/return pump. The supply pump includes an inlet in communication with a fresh oil reservoir and an outlet in communication with the filter/return pump. The filter/return pump includes an inlet in each communication with an oil filtration system and an outlet in communication with the outlet of the supply pump and an inlet to an oil distribution network. The oil distribution network includes a plurality of outlets, each in communication with an inlet of a vat. Each vat each includes an outlet in communication with the oil filtration system. The supply pump further includes a bypass valve that closes the inlet to the supply pump when flow from the fresh oil reservoir is cut off by closing a fresh oil supply valve. The bypass valve permits continuous circulation of fresh oil in the supply pump chamber and around the seal to prolong the life of the seal. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20130186813 | COOKING-OIL DEGRADATION PREVENTER AND COOKING-OIL DEGRADATION PREVENTION METHOD - A titanium plate including a titanium oxide coating obtained by anodizing a titanium steel is arranged in a protection member through which a cooking oil can flow into an inner space of the protection member, in such a manner that most of front and back surfaces of the titanium plate is spaced out from an inner surface of the protection member so as to be able to come into contact with a cooking oil during cooking. High temperature cooking with a cooking oil kept in contact with the titanium plate including the titanium oxide coating obtained by anodizing the titanium steel elongates the life span of the cooking oil and improves the textures of cooked foods. | 07-25-2013 |
| 20130193044 | COOKING OIL STORAGE AND FILTRATION SYSTEM - A system for pumping cooking oil from a filtration device or cooking oil reservoir to a storage tank or back into the cooking oil reservoir. The system can also be used to pump oil from the storage tank to a disposal location. The system can include a pump used to pump oil from one location to another. The system can include a housing for containing the pump and/or the storage tank. The system can include a fresh oil storage tank. | 08-01-2013 |
| 20130341258 | Adjustable Liner for Use in Deep Fryers of Different Widths - An adjustable liner, for immersion in the cooking oil of a deep fryer, includes: (a) two partial baskets, each having a bottom surface with four edges and three side surfaces, each of which extends upwardly from one of the bottom surface's edges so that the fourth edges of these partial baskets are free edges, (b) wherein the bottom surfaces of each of these partial baskets has a porosity chosen so as to allow the cooking oil to circulate through these bottom surfaces when the deep fryer is in use, and (c) wherein the lengths of these partial baskets' free edges are such as to allow one of these partial baskets to fit and nest within the other so as to yield a liner having adjustable length that can be custom fitted to the width of the deep fryer in which this liner is to be retrofitted for use. | 12-26-2013 |
| 20150101972 | COOKING OIL STORAGE AND FILTRATION SYSTEM - A system for pumping cooking oil from a filtration device or cooking oil reservoir to a storage tank or back into the cooking oil reservoir. The system can also be used to pump oil from the storage tank to a disposal location. The system can include a pump used to pump oil from one location to another. The system can include a housing for containing the pump and/or the storage tank. The system can include a fresh oil storage tank. | 04-16-2015 |
